Geek in the Shell
@geekintheshell.bsky.social
Host of Geek in the Shell Cast / Guest in the Shell. On a never-ending quest to find cats. Currently in my X-Men and RPG era.
Megaten, Capcom, mecha, 90's alt rock and old anime. (Any pronouns, sadly British).
And that's pretty much it for 2025, I didn't finish any of the RPGs I said I would lol.
Normally I list my 10 faves from the year but for that you're gonna have to tune into the next episode of Guest in the Shell (hopefully soon).
Instead here are some new games from this year you should check out!

125) Sinners
I know I'm like the last person to see this film so shocking no one when I say it's really good. Not my favourite, I feel like there were areas that could've been trimmed, but the feel, musical heart and ideas behind it really shine through.

124) Better Man
Robbie Williams monkey movie. After 20 minutes you kind of adjust to the monkey thing and it ends up being a pretty great film. Better than most other musician biopics, there's enough going on to hold interest (if anything too much) and it's not afraid to show him in a negative light

Slitterhead ($24.99) - any jank this has is instantly overcome by the sheer amount of mood to this game. Keiichiro Toyama (Silent Hill, Siren, Gravity Rush) has a horror action game that uses rapidfire body swapping as a key combat tool. akira yamaoka music! store.steampowered.com/app/2631250/...

123) Broken Rage
A marriage of Takeshi Kitano's Yakuza and comedian personas, as the first half is about an assassin getting arrested then the second half is this again but now it's slapstick. Nothing stellar but he's having a lot of fun with this one. Go off king.

Every now and again I'm like "Comix Zone is cool, I should play it for real" then after 10 minutes it's like "nah I'm good" 😭

122) Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog
Really enjoyed my time with this, despite a slow but necessary start. When the plot ramps up it really pull you in, so sad that it's a more open-ended conclusion that's not fully satisfying. Some characters lacked charm and felt more like plot devices. Big woman.

It is tomorrow, assuming she means finishing prep in the morning haha.

121) The New Flesh
Really cool free walking simulator based around music from the band Red Vox, kinda like a series of interactive music videos. May be biased as I already like the band and the visual style here really appealed to me. Surprising amount of content, secrets and additional update stuff

Digital Devil Saga has a cannibalism mechanic.
Also I haven't played it but Linda Cube may be up your alley, think it's horror-esque, with art from the Akira artist.
There's also Shadow Hearts as a gothic horror jrpg series I've been meaning to get into.
